The big hit was this piece by John Chamberlain—a Hoosier it turns out, and a new discovery to us. The piece is enormous and very bright and an amazing combination of randomness and precision.
And then, in searching for more information, I found this link to the Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas. Odd. We found Beacon because it was featured in the Times real estate section this fall—a great essay about this Hudson River town’s revival. Now, it turns out that many of the same artists are represented in Marfa—a town about which we read avidly in a recent article in the Times real estate section—my new source for taking baby steps into the art world.

And a good world that is too. I find it quite spiritual at times, and like the fact that I am free to take in the curator's support for my interpretation of the work, or not, as I choose. The act of showing to the public is so central to the work of the visual artist, I'd go so far as to suggest it maybe gives him an advantage over other 'artists'(writers perhaps?)
